Riverwise: Meditations on Afon Teifi

Riverwise, a volume of slow river prose centred around Afon

Teifi, is a book of wanderings and wonderings, witnessings and

enchantments, rememberings and endings. Weaving memoir,

poetry and keen observation into its meandering course, it shifts

across time and space to reflect the beauty of hidden, fluvial

places, and to meditate on the strangeness of being human.

Above all, though, this book stands as a hymn to those fragments

of riparian wilderness which on our maps appear as ever-

shrinking horns of green amid a white, gridded landscape of

human dominance. Riverwise is a clarion call to learn to love and

protect the natural world and its waterways.
